Welcome to the Grid Snaps Podcast Mini edition, featuring shorter conversations than our regular series. These episodes allow us to create quick episodes to cover topical game releases as they happen. They also let us have some fun with topics that might be tangential to the normal show. In this mini podcast, Rob chats with Patrick, who he calls (jokingly!) "Mr. Musou," for his deep knowledge of the genre. Rob and Patrick talk about the recently released Fire Emblem Warriors and Musou games in general.
